My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Halloumi and Patata Brava! This brother and sister duo takes a bit of time to warm up, but once they do they will be involved in everything that you are! 

Halloumi (male, white with tabby markings) is a sweet boy who loves snuggling above all else. If you aren’t able to find him, simply start talking in your best baby voice to another cat (even an imaginary cat will work) and he will come running from the other room to ensure you have the opportunity to pet him as well. Halloumi is shy at first and takes a while to feel comfortable, but once he does you will never snuggle alone again. 

Patata Brava (female, tabby), is a bit of a diva and mostly wants playtime and treats from her humans rather than cuddles. However, as she warms up she will also curl up next to you on the couch and permit some pets in exchange for her room and board. More outgoing than her brother, she will follow you around the apartment carefully noting your activities for the day. Just beware: she is a bit of a thief and will steal anything that has toy potential. 

Halloumi and Patata Brava have come a long way on their journey to trusting humans and would do best in a patient home without children and some previous cat experience. They are great with other cats as well as with the free-range rabbit living in their foster home and have wonderful manners (aside from the occasional petty theft).

More about this rescue

Our rescue group was formed in December 2007, but all our Board Members have had extensive experience rescuing and working with abandoned animals. We often work with other rescue organizations to find appropriate and safe foster and adoptive homes for our pet clients. We regularly go to areas with abandoned animals and collect them. The animals are taken to a licensed veterinarian examined, treated and spayed or neutered. Every effort is made to work with the animal and our foster and adoptive families to find a suitable forever home.

For those animals who are truly wild and feral, we release the animal in a safe and secure location after it has recovered from its medical treatment. We also work with certified wildlife rehabilitators to rescue injured and orphaned wildlife. Our organization is focused on improving the welfare of the abandoned animals in need of help in Brooklyn. In furthering that goal, our resources are focused on the animals.

Aside from a few minimal overhead costs such as our website and phone services, our entire budget is spent on animal care such as medical and food costs.
